Part of what is known as Shoofly - This section was jokingly referred to during construction as "Spaghetti Junction". Recommended ride direction North-to-South. It twists and turns and provides a surprisingly good ride This is another example of a section of trail which exists to get from Point A to Point B due to geographic challenges (and the boundary of the park) but the builders poured a ton of time into not making it a trail that simply is a series of switchbacks (or a crappy fall-line trail). Every seen bumper sticker that says "Get in, shut up, and hold on!" - that's what its like to ride this.
